The Americans (2013)
A masterpiece
I can't even believe I waited that long to watch this amazing series. It's probably one of the best shows I've ever watched in my entire life and I watch a lot of series. I'm just wowed both by the acting and the complexities of the plot. The writers are absolute geniuses and the actors deliver outstanding performances. If you want a show to binge watch without being able to watch anything else in between this is the series for you. I am so sad it's over, these six seasons went by so damn quickly. I wish we had more. I don't think I could recommend a series more than this one. Wow, wow, wow, wow!!!!
Tapie (2023)
Fascinating series.
On a much lower scale, the ascension of Bernard Tapie and his aplomb reminded me of Trump... He was a media darling, a businessman that ended up laying off thousands of workers even though he promised he wouldn't... The only differences lie in the fact that Bernard Tapie was a real self made man who could not count on his father's money and that he got burned for flying too close to the sun! He also got married twice only! :-) Anyways, I really enjoyed this series and even though it was largely fictional, many scandals rang a bell to me as I grew up in France in the 80s-90s. It was really entertaining and I definitely recommend this series to anyone that would like to learn more about a man that is still revered as the Boss in Marseilles and who is still worshipped by many in France as the son of a factory worker who became a billionaire, a minister of the government, a tv host, a singer, an actor, a business owner who owned Adidas and changed its logo and the owner of one of the biggest French football club!
The Chosen One (2023)
Don't believe the bad ratings
Apparently the bigots are out for blood and give this show bad reviews for a few kissing scenes between two 13-year olds. Honestly some people
Need to chill out! This was an excellent series, stellar acting and such a fascinating plot! Give it a chance and you'll like it or even love it! I didn't have many expectations when I started watching and now I'm so upset it's already over. I do hope the show gets renewed as the finale leaves a lot of room for a new storyline. Do yourself a favor, ignore all the nasty reviews and watch this series as you won't be disappointed, even gave me the chills.!
Succession: Rehearsal (2023)
Lame
Succession used to be so good. The way they talk now is ridiculous. It's become such a pompous show, it's nothing like the two first stand. I can barely sustain watching it. It's sad but in won't finish the show, good thing it's canceled before it becomes completely unwatchable. Hot can one think it's amazing writing? Nobody talks like that, I don't even understand what's going on anymore and I'm so uninterested. Terrible terrible show, do Yusuf a david and change the channel.
Ridiculous story ridiculous acting! I guess those who think it's such a great episode know nothing of TV. Worst episode ever of succession ever made.
The Last of Us: Infected (2023)
Much ado about nothing
I wonder why so many people think it's such an amazing show. The special effects are the lamest ever, I mean Halloween masks look more realistic. The tension? Not any more tension than any other zombie show. This has been done over and over again. Nothing new here. And so slow. In the second episode they walk from one building to another that's it. The acting is ok I guess but the plot doesn't differ much from all the usual zombie shows. I had great expectations about the show and I have to say that I'm very disappointed. Many times I've found myself doing something else while watching the first two episodes.
Barbarian (2022)
Worst horror movie ever
I was duped by the stellar reviews. What a waste of my time. Barbarian is one of the WORST movies ever if not the WORST. Didn't even jump once. Terrible terrible movie. Do yourself a favor and don't watch. Poor acting, no plot. The female lead was so stupid it was almost painful to watch. As for the plot, I mean what plot? I will never understand critics I guess they're paid off to make us like terrible movies that would not make a penny otherwise. Please give me back my hour and a half of my life! Don't waste your time. Ugh I don't know what else to write but the app won't let me publish unless I write a novel.
The Crown (2016)
Disappointing 5th season
The Crown used to be such an amazing series. This season goes to great lengths to make Charles look good and Diana look like an unhinged, childish woman. Her popularity as Princess of the People is completely overlooked. Even the relationship with her sons is tarnished. This season makes it look like William was embarrassed by his mother! That's unacceptable. One forgets that Charles was the one who cheated on Diana from the very first day of their marriage. Who wouldn't be traumatized after that? I am so disappointed by the direction the show has taken. I don't know whether someone in the royal family pressured the writers so Charles would look better as he's now king but that's really a let down. Should they even bother with a final season? I guess they'll disparage Diana completely. Terrible!
The Mauritanian (2021)
Mindblowing
Very underrated film. Stellar performances by Tahar Rahim and Jodie Foster. Very disturbing to see those interrogation methods being used in a democracy... Wow.
Morbius (2022)
Very entertaining
I really enjoyed watching this and once again why the bad reviews? Jared Leto looks amazing, the special effets are great and it's a change from the usual super hero movie. Watch it and make up your mind without trusting the reviews.
First Kill (2022)
Very cheap
Such a lame show, I had to stop. Cheap production, terrible acting, don't wage your time! I'm usually a fan of vampire series, what a disappointment. Guess it's a show for children. The special effects are so cheap, the storyline is boring...
The First Lady (2022)
Excellent series
I honestly don't understand the bad reviews. I can only assume there's some kind of political agenda behind them! Outstanding cast and amazing acting, this series is so well done! Don't listen to these so called professional critics who are completely out of touch with the viewers' tastes!
Eternals (2021)
Amazing film
I don't know why this movie got such mixed reviews. It's action packed, the visuals are simply incredible and I did not expect the twist at all. I Loved the characters and the storyline. I am
ready for part 2!
Fate: The Winx Saga (2021)
Loving it so far!
Of course critics will trash it as usual! But I'm really enjoying it. It's really entertaining. Decent special effects, good acting and intriguing plot.
